Question 1061426: Out of 5200 household surveyed, 2107 had a dog , 807 had a cat, and 303 had both a dog or a cat. What is the probability that a randomly selected household has a dog or a cat. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2107 have a dog and 807 have a cat, for a total of 2914. 303 have both, so 2914-303=2611 out of 5200 households have either a dog or a cat--or both. This works out to a probability of .5010. ☺☺☺☺
